Super flattering and amazing to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Hype lol....let alone on March's thread! :blush: Hey thanks tron!! I'll let you know next time if I tag you again Finding proper placement for this vortech is frustrating I have a large dead spot of the far right of the tank because the fluval's flow doesn't reach all the way I got the MP10 in order to even it out but the shrooms, ricordias , hammer and frogspawn are hating the flow! I think I have to do some massive coral re arrangement Link to comment

Reef Casa Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 It happens.... I have it worked out pretty nicely, but of course there are dead spots.... you can never get rid of all of them? How do you manage them? my sand always turns funky colors in those places and accumulates tons of detritus Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 you can never get rid of all of them?How do you manage them? my sand always turns funky colors in those places and accumulates tons of detritus Well like look a my scape, the way the rocks are there's bound to be parts that can't have nice flow, but that's reef keeping, beautiful design, yet dead spots, or high flow everywhere, and hideous scape lol....

Reef Casa Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 So I finally eliminated the two major dead spots with the vortech but the shrooms hate it They are all shrivelled up and one let go of the rock it was on The large hammer colony is also pissed Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What mode are you running on your vortech? Link to comment
Reef Casa Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 What mode are you running on your vortech? Lagoon level 3-4 Anything lower doesn't help my dead spot / algae problem I get brown / red slime algae on the sand bed within a couple days of cleaning it Increased flow has always solved this problem Link to comment
i<3nanotanks Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 meh i had that too slime algae and yeah increased flow works but doesn't it blow around your sand an ish? Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Work your Vortech up every day over the course of a week so everythings not pissed...also when your done feeding - try out short pulse or nutrient transport. It'll help keep the slime off your sand Link to comment
Reef Casa Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 green digi ID anyone? Selling these ones 10$ each fair? A little crowded right now Link to comment
JayPagi Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ahhhh.... Need to get my parameters level first. Then if you have anything left I will finally drop by for a peek and buy. Alot of ifs and whens with little to no free time. I need more coral! Link to comment

rb1685 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My tank looks like poop compared to yours, but I do have one suggestion: sit back and let everything grow out! It is definitely a marvel of an aquarium, but I have seen healthy tanks with healthy SPS that look too crowded once everything grows out. Of course you can always "prune" some frags. Just my opinion. You still have my vote for TOTM. Link to comment

You still have my vote for TOTM. Thanks Rb for the vote and suggestions Its funny you say this because I actually have begun cutting off pieces and selling them on a local reefing site its getting really crowded with the SPS growing is every which direction I think the next step for this tank is a DIY Led fixture so I'll probably relax on the coral buying for a while Link to comment
